Awesome! You can also find great art made with Deluxe Paint for the Amiga. The limitations from early computers in resolution and, most importantly, palette, create unique art styles:

These seem worse IMO. Not sure if it’s the medium (eg more saturated colours, the particular website) or if I just like the compositions less.

The usual case of looking at pictures what was made on and for a CRT monitor (or even TV).

You can try Screenitron to imitate something like this.
